Clown Vibes

What age do you feel? And is the answer 4 years younger? We still think we're 25, and that's something we call the "COVID gap" or the "Pandemic Skip." This week, we explore why we feel like there is a gap in the years in which we experienced COVID. Amee and I both had such high hopes for 25 but it definitely was not on our bingo card to be living at home with our parent...
